Kiosk Sale: New Hardware + Updated Software

The kids are headed back to school and fall is right around the corner… and for retailers, that means it is time to make sure you are prepped and ready for the holiday rush. We’ve got a great deal on new kiosk hardware for you. NOW is the perfect time to upgrade your older Photo Finale or Lucidiom kiosk computers and run the software on a machine that is modern, fast and ready for taking orders. kiosk sale

The hardware offer

We’ll ship you a Windows 10, touch screen computer, loaded up with new APM v10 software. Choose a 23″ for $1,000 or a 27″ for $1,250 (+ shipping). We will transfer an existing, supported license to it, along with all your settings at no extra cost. This offer transfers an active license you already own, but if you want to ADD this kiosk computer to your line-up instead of using it to replace one, add $250 + $50/month, which includes a new software license, support and updates. Please note, card reader is not included. This offer is good until the end of September!

YES, it includes an updated APM version!

APM v10 includes a universal mobile uploader, save-to-USB feature, rush fee, and support for HEIF. More about those features:

  • Universal mobile uploader: This feature allows your users to upload photos from their Apple or Android mobile phones into the kiosk, then order prints and products from those photos. There is no license needed, no cable needed, and no app needed (although we will have a button for this in the next release of your branded iPhone/iPad ordering app). The user types in a website on the phone, selects photos, enters a code to tie the upload to the kiosk they are standing in front of, and photos start appearing on the screen for ordering.
  • Save to USB: A long-requested feature by dealers, this addition will allow users to select photos for digital delivery on a USB stick. Dealer configures USB size, price and other options. Lab 50 feature enables easy USB delivery.
  • Rush fee: Recently added to Photo Finale online, the rush fee allows users to opt to pay extra for speedier service. It will work as it does for the website – you set the name of the service, description and amount. If you have not tried this online, do it this holiday season! We had a number of dealers do very well with it… fees ranged from $2.99 to $20.
  • HEIF: Most commonly pronounced “heef” (although there are alternates out there), HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image File Format and it is the image format Apple will introduce soon in iOS 11. Files will take up less space and be better quality. APM v10 will handle the format, as will the next update of the iPhone app.
